FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal 
Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork burden 
and as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501-3520), the Federal Communications Commission invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the following information collection(s). Comments are requested 
concerning: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Commission, 
including whether the information shall have practical utility; the 
accuracy of the Commission's burden estimate; ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and ways to further reduce the 
information burden for small business concerns with fewer than 25 
employees. The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. No 
person shall be subject to any penalty for failing to comply with a 
collection of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 
that does not display a valid OMB control number.

DATES: Written Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) comments should be 
submitted on or before July 8, 2014. If you anticipate that you will be 
submitting PRA comments, but find it difficult to do so within the 
period of time allowed by this notice, you should advise the FCC 
contact listed below as soon as possible.

ADDRESSES: Submit your PRA comments to Nicholas A. Fraser, Office of 
Management and Budget, via fax at 202-395-5167 or via Internet at 
[email protected] and to Benish Shah, Federal 
Communications Commission, via the Internet at [email protected]. To 
submit your PRA comments by email send them to: [email protected].

Audit.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents and Responses: 10 respondents; 10 responses.
    Estimated Time per Response: 33 hours.

    Obligation to Respond: Mandatory.
    Total Annual Burden: 330 hours.
    Total Annual Cost: $0.00.
    Privacy Impact Assessment: No impact(s).
    Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: Commission employees and the 
independent auditor are prohibited by 47 U.S.C. 220(f) from divulging 
any fact or information that may come to their knowledge in the course 
of performing the audit, except as directed by the Commission or a 
court.
    Needs and Uses: The Commission will submit this expiring 
information collection after this 60 day comment period to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) to obtain the full three year clearance. 
The Commission is reporting an adjustment which decreases the burden 
estimates to this information collection. The adjustment decreases the 
number of respondents from 25 to 10 (decrease of 15), and the annual 
hours are decreased from 825 to

330 hours (decrease of 495). The Commission has re-analyzed the burden 
for this collection and determined that the reporting requirements 
regarding the annual hourly burden are all attributable to third party 
disclosure requirements. There is no change in the reporting 
requirements.
    The audit program, consisting of audit procedures and guidelines, 
is developed to conduct random audits. The random audits are conducted 
on the carriers that use numbering resources in order to verify the 
accuracy of numbering data reported on FCC Form 502, and to monitor 
compliance with FCC rules, orders and applicable industry guidelines. 
Failure of the audited carriers to respond to the audits can result in 
penalties. Based on the final audit report, evidence of potential 
violations may result in enforcement action.

Federal Communications Commission.

Secretary, Office of the Secretary, Office of Managing Director.
